Good value for money and a great location.
Pros:

Good sized room- easy to move around.
Chosen because it was close to the Garden and Flower show.
Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Occasionally there was noise and loud door closing from the corridor.
Obviously the corridors are being upgraded and were unfinished.

Overall it’s okay

What I like are, surrounded with many restaurants, cafes , grocery store and malls. Everything is walking distance.
Pet friendly as well.

In the heart of Chinatown
Pros:

Right in the heart of Chinatown, this little self sufficient room met all my needs. A comfortable space, good location, friendly staff, walking distance to buses, trams and trains and of course the pulse of the city. This was my second time staying here, and I will use it again.

Great location and comfortable enough facilities for a one night stay
Pros:

Location was excellent. We stayed at the property to watch a show at Her Majesty’s Theatre and it was just 50m away so just a very short walk.

Cons:

The absence of carpet/floor covering on the hallway which makes it look very tired and unkempt.

Great spot, comfy, clean so we enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

In the heart of Chinatown and close to many food options. Her Majesty's theatre right next door. A busy area especially at night which doesn't bother us. Couldn't really hear much noise from our apartment - except for the rubbish trucks and street sweepers early morning. Bed was comfy and huge. Room spacious enough with adequate kitchen. Laundry had a washer and a dryer including washing powder sachet -which we were thankful for.

Cons:

Seemed to be in the midst of upgrade which we weren't alerted to but it wasn't a problem, just a surprise on arrival. Had a little challenge getting the lift to register our key card but worked it out eventually.

Pros:

Location is fantastic. China Town is such a vibrant area to stay in. And with the trams it doesn't take long to get from one corner of the CBD to the other. We paid <$500 for three nights which is really good value.

Cons:

The apartments are showing definite sign of wear. Missing light covers, mismatched (and not in a good way) couch cushions, rust on the furniture and a bed with a definite hollow. A repaint and some new furniture would really lift the apartments. We stayed here a year ago and reported the same issues. Would be happy to pay a bit more for a better quality bed and a thoroughly cleaned apartment.
The kitchen enables self catering / takeaway however there's no hand towel or paper towels. Also only given one satchet of dishwashing liquid for a multinight stay making washing up each night not possible.

However, convenient location and friendly staff make me willing to choose to stay at Punthill again.
Pros:

The girls and boys at the front desk are very friendly and able to provide timely help. I am very grateful to them for showing me the passion of Melbourne City.

Cons:

Although the bed sheets and covers are changed regularly. But the quilt inside has many dirty marks. It would be even better if pillows and blankets could be disinfected regularly. I have sensitive skin, the unhygienic pillows and blankets caused me to be allergic to mites, resulting in severe rashes all over my face for about 3 weeks durning my vacation there.
